New gears and exhaust run....

#1 01-26-2005, 10:10 PM

Just thought you guys would enjoy pics of the svx testing it's new gears and exhaust at our shop. Goto www.citationmmp.com and click on gallerys.......then goto the fivth page i think and you'll see the svx and a short video in the middle.

The videos take a minute or two to load but are well worth the wait. The right one is a sound byte of the new exhaust and the left one speaks for itself. SVX power baby! Just click on them to play again!

Your right, the left vid does speak for itself!

Sounds nice too.

what size pipe did you use from the exhaust manifolds back to the cat?

I kinda like those tips. Similar to mine, but i think the square ones go better with the shape of the car.

(On my old car..transfered to my red one, but no good pics on the red one)

p.s. Nice rims too!

Scott, those rims look sweet!! How much you pay for them? And Thasian, that exhaust sounds nice. Is that a magnaflow?

(not trying to hijack the thread)
I bought them from Mike (BLKSVX92) a looong time ago. They are now, 3 sets of rims old, and are long gone.

Dont really remember how much i paid.

I used dual 2' 1/2" to the cat and 2'1/2" through out the rest. Although i have to fix the resonance sound between 3000rpm and 3800 rpm. I should have it fixed by next weekend. By the way, Nice wheels bwana, i have th same exact ones. LOL. Modas? Thanks everybody for the compliments, next addtion will be the ecu.

Yeah, i know you have the same rims, that's why i mentioned it.

Mine were 17's though.

Ya the ones on the car are alos 17"s, believe it or not my 18" rx8 wheels where stolen, so i had to put these back on. After having the 18"s these are like putting 15's back on. LOL.

Fixed the resonance sound yet? If "yes", what did you end up doing to eliminate it?

Stolen off the car, or elsewhere?

Did the RX8 18's clear the fenders, and with what tires?

Nice car, was it lowered?

Thanks

Does it still have a resonator fitted to the system?

If not this could be the sound wave, that would have reflected back at the resonator, now traveling the long pipe from the third cat to the muffler. This is a longer run that will resonate at a lower frequence and lower rpms.?

Yes they actually clear perfect and i had no problems whatsoever. No lower kit yet. I'll have to find another set before i get the kit. Still haven't installed the resonators yet. I going to put them where the old cats used to be on each side of the trans. Do you think this will help?
